Sabado: Barça vs. Villarreal - ¡Voot Hoo!

Yesterday's Barça vs. Villarreal game was a whirlwind of fast plays, furious runs and several switch out hits that kept fans seat side-clutching right up until the final minute. Villarreal, affectionately known as “El Submarino Amarillo," played a great game at Camp Nou, but in the end proved no match for Alcantara, Fabregras, Sanchez, and current favorite, Player of the Year Messi. Thiago Alcantara received the ball from Fabregas just past midfield, and scored a goal in the lower-right corner of the box. Cesc Fabregras brought business back to the field doubling the lead inside the box after a through ball from Lionel Messi.

Mid-game, the dynamic Chilean Alexis Sanchez added a third goal and was also yellow carded for quitarse la camiseta. Photos of the cuerpo caliente that Sanchez packs under his jersey proved the card (for most fans mujeres) to be Well. Worth. It.

One yellow card for conduct... coming up. (con suspiros enormes)

I enjoyed watching the game with a tasty taco vegetariano and piña agua fresca at Taqueria Garibaldi on Howe Avenue near Arden Way. The friendly staff and other customers indulged my wide-eyed fascination of plays long after I finished my loncha. Gracias, amigos! :)

Comida delicioso y mas emocionantes desportes

My sabado wrapped up with a fantastic fiesta celebrating the 33rd cumpleaño di mi amiga buena, Amy Cluck a.k.a. Amyistheparty.

Sitting around a beautiful, vintage-modern Midtown apartment talking about crafts, cocktails and computer apps may not sound exciting to many people, but I was in great company - including Lauren Brandy of Two Shoes Studio and Lorrain Garcia of Rain's Embellishments. With tasty appetizers, cream-covered cupcakes and a delicious concoction called Vootbeer, the creative, inspiring conversation went on for hours, showing that the proof is in the candy dish: Amy really is the party.

Voo hoo for Vootbeer! Tasty cherry-topped treat
